ABSTRACT

The antimutagenic properties of whole fresh-water blue-green algae Aphanizomenon flos-aquae, marketed under the commercial "Alpha Sun" were tested using the Ames test. Simultaneous addition of both algae and Nitrovin (a mutagen) to the test medium did not reduce the mutagenic activity. On the other hand, addition of freeze-dried blue-green algae to the test medium 2-24 h before the application of mutagen reduced it mutagenic activity.

TESTIMONIES

I find that the most important natural food supplement that will contribute to a horse´s well-being and have a positive effect on his nervous system is Bluegreen Body Algae. The most frequent comment I hear from care-takers when their horse is eating the algae is how calm his temperament is and how much easier and cooperative he is to work with. These horses are less irritable and easier to train. I think all working horses should be given this fantastic food every day.
